USB flash drives are everyone’s favorite promotional gift, desk drawer pile, and junk drawer staple-but they are so popular because they are incredibly useful! Even if you are suffering from total USB flash drive overload, don’t discount their importance to your technology life. Here are some of the best reasons why they are still incredibly useful and powerful tools.

Flexible Uses

USB flash drives can be used for a myriad of things, especially since they are so small and easy to use. You can use your USB flash drives to:

Keep your browser and program settings on your person so that you can easily plug them in on each computer you use at home or at work

Repair and troubleshoot any computer problems

Run an entirely different operating system without needing to change hard drives or computers

Keep Your Information Handy At All Times

USB flash drives are a fantastic way to keep your most important information handy at all times. Your USB flash drive can hold many GB of data, so you can keep many different lists tucked away in your purse or wallet including your latest work files, pictures of your house and valuables in case anything is stolen, copies of your medical records, your contact lists, and any other on-the-go emergency information you can think of.

Carry Your Settings With You

Almost every popular and widely-used program has a version that can be run off of a USB flash drive, so install your favorite programs on yours and always have your program, your settings, and your personal information plugged in. Even better, once you get up from the workstation to leave, you won’t need to worry about leaving any personal information behind!
